Social injustice

Social injustice occurs when certain groups of people are unfairly treated or disadvantaged because of their race, gender, class, religion, or other characteristics. This unfair treatment can affect access to resources like education, jobs, healthcare, and legal protections. It often results from systemic structures and societal attitudes that reinforce inequality. Social injustice not only harms individuals’ opportunities and well-being but also weakens the overall fairness and cohesion of society. Addressing it involves recognizing these disparities and working towards more equitable policies and practices.
